Why The Elder Scrolls Online Will Fail

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not simply ranting about ESO. Bethesda are one of my most loved developers and I seriously hope they can pull it off. However, we’ve all seen big names enter the MMO world and very few of the popular IP’s ever manage to deliver. This isn’t always the fault of the developers. Anything with such a big following is bound to be met with certain expectations and quite often these expectations are not possible to meet. This is my main concern as an potential player of ESO. I hold the franchise in such high regard I’m not sure Bethesda would ever be able to reach that bar with an MMO. Do you think The Elder Scrolls Online will fail? Leave a comment below.

Zenimax online is the developer, Bethesda Game Studios(the guys who developed all the main ES titles) have nothing to do with making this game. Apart from maybe Todd Howard stopping buy to check if little lore things are in order. Bethesda Softworks is not Bethesda Game Studios.

Honestly if they gonna charge a montly sub its got fail written all over it. If they make it f2p da grind will probably be 2 much of a hassle. I say make it like guild wars2 where you pay for the game and you can play without sub. That could probably help the game be successful given Elder Scrolls popularity.
